The Alligator People - 1959 - 5/10

Honeymooning cross-country by train, Paul receives a wire and abandons new bride, Joyce.
“No one’s jilting this girl!” and off she goes, tracking her husband into his mysterious past.
Deep into the Louisiana swamps, swarming with water moccasins and alligators.
As well as hook-handed Lon Chaney Jr., moonshine swiller and gator hater.
Yeah, there’s a plot, but it ain’t much. Action? Zzzz. Horror? Get on.
The look is Southern Gothic, the tone is brooding, but the story falls flat.
One of the last films by Roy Del Ruth - watch his 1930’s films instead of this.
